Thank you. Others took it so personally.

Your observation is spot on.

I wonder what would happen if you cut your salary requirements in half. Would they still reject you on your age or what? And if so, would they reject you if you slashed it in half again? And keep slashing until they hired you. Just as an experiment

Not sure what you're using but I found that Google streaming devices hard code their 8.8.8.8 and .4.4 DNS addresses into their products. Blocking those IP addresses at the router forces the device to default to your router's DNS.

Simpsons did it

I'm not generally evil, so I never would have thought of doing this. Therefore it must be the correct answer.

My country of Smugistan solved playoff problem years ago. Very simple: every Smugball team makes playoffs. If Americans and Europeans weren't so far behind Smugistanian education system, they would have figured it out too.

In my home country of Smugistan, greatest country in world, banks unnecessary. Check-outs take money directly from brain waves using technology invented by Smugistanian super computers. Money is crypto backed generated from farts released by citizens of Smugistan. Also, farts smell like roses.

Distella is a disassembler specifically for the Atari 2600. Since its creation, it has been modified to disassemble Atari 7800 code as well. It creates source code that is usually recompilable without any human intervention. It examines the code and performs some basic tracing routines which allow it to accurately distinguish data from code.

The original Pitfall did not have a continuously scrolly playfield. When you got to the far left or right, a new screen was displayed along with every element on that screen (like barrels).

The creator of this version probably chose to have the barrels fade in to accommodate this.

At one point data for every MLB game was available from MLB.com. I started writing a RBI baseball simulator using said data and the graphics from the NES game. But then I realized I'm not that good at programming but I still think it would've been neat to watch game 3 of the 1970 world series as played out by 1985 video game graphics.

And don't forget trademarks never expire.

I liked the presentation and it worked great on my phone.

I'm sorry you have issues but I'm glad the world doesn't cater to a single individual's issue.

I can't swim because of a whole in my ear drum from when the Nun at the free clinic my poor mother took me to popped that bad boy with a enthusiastic squeeze from an ear syringe and my tinnitus rings like a son-of-a-bitch when I wear ear plugs but I don't demand they fill in every swimming pool with concrete. I just walk by on those hot summer days wistfully jealous of the guy doing a cannonball and the lady doing the hand stand thing where your feet are in dry air but your head is 2 feet below the water level.

What percentage of cars crash now?

I thought about Sears and Montgomery Wards catalog business and how they shuttered it in favor of storefronts in malls and shopping centers. Had they held out another decade or so, they'd have been in the perfect position to dominate online commerce.

If you disagree with someone's political opinion, obviously they aren't fit to do anything of constructive value.

I'm no conspiracy theorist but, if it's fake, the money is still real. Redistributing billions of dollars to the elite heads of the illuminati under the cover of socalled "space exploration".

I bought the last dumb Vizio 55" TV over a decade ago at Walmart for around $600 and the dang thing won't die.

I want a bigger TV but I can't justify throwing this perfectly functioning television out.

Sucks to be me.

That answer to various governments.

Hey, make me a game where you start out running a business like the old days where you own the company store and own the workers homes, so you manage all that plus the business operations. I don't know, it could be a logging business or coal mine, whatever.

And then at some point the workers revolt against the "company owns everything" system and the game becomes a city simulator.

You just basically start small scale and then zoom out to manage the big scale.

Hell, make it two games as long as I can import the first game map as my starter city.

Thanks.

When you set anything metal outside on the curb with a free sign, it gets recycled. Either someone takes it to use or they scrap it to be melted down for repurposing.

I talked to an elderly man digging in my father's trash for metal recently. He's not doing it because he's poor but because he's retired and bored and gets cash for the scrap that doesn't affect his social security income.

He recycles everything with metal in it. Even pulling out individual wires when he has time. He says he gets paid more if he dismantles the appliance versus turning it in whole.

When a person or entity doesn't do what you want, of course it's time to send in the goons to force them to behave.

What's the point of having the goons if you're not going to use them?

Why let the businesses create anything at all? Why not regulate the creation of everything?

Very few people hate having insurance in case of accidents but a lot of people hate having guns stuck in their back and told to pay up for other people.

I pay a rate based on my risk factors which I actively work to maintain as low as possible. I don't want to be forced to pay for every reckless idiot in my country (of which there are too many to count).

But I also hate non-voluntary anything, so I'm weird.

All roads should be underground! What if a plane crashes into a surface road? Or a meteor? Somebody think of the children!

I don't see a societal benefit in people borrowing video games and watching DVDs that aren't educational. At least non educational books might expect the reader to expand their minds, and to a lesser extent movies.

But the majority of video games and movies being produced are empty wastes of time. It seems to me loaning those items is just an attempt to stay relevant lest libraries become vacant and useless. What other value is there in loaning out PlayStation games?

Imagine owning and renting to the people you employee. What a nightmare! He'd be villainized immediately.

You are technically correct. The best kind of correct.

Patents and copyrights are dangled like winning lottery tickets in front of the average citizen. Maybe you can invent something or write a book and sell it for millions! Which does happen... about as often as people win the lottery.

More often a patent or copyright is one of thousands a giant company procures. But all the intellectual property profiteers need is that 1 in 300,000,000 chance dangling in front of a voter and they'll never agree to do away with IP, in fact, the opposite will happen. They'll actively fight to keep them in place.

Wages are less as is the cost of living. Everything is relative.

Anecdotally, I was traveling in Maryland and struck up a conversation with a fella that worked for the state weights and measurements. He was going around checking gas pump accuracy. He said years go between when pumps are checked.
